MET OFFICE weather forecasters have predicted rain for the remaining days of the week, with some particularly heavy spells in store for the UK. The Environment Agency has now released a chain of flood warnings - see them all here.

Met Office yellow weather warnings have now been extended for the south-west of the country, as a week of rain gets underway. The summery temperatures we experienced at the end of February have now departed the UK and the weather has reverted to traditional British rain and gloom. This weather is expected to stick into the near future, including this weekend, but with rain and cloud comes a selection of flood warnings.

Met Office forecasters explained the weather will bring up to two inches of rain in some places.

The forecast reads: “Rain will affect much of south Wales and southwest England from late Tuesday afternoon, overnight into Wednesday morning before clearing.

“Up to 30mm of rain is likely to fall quite widely whilst over the higher ground of south Wales and southwest England, such as the Brecon Beacons and Dartmoor 40 to 50 mm is expected, with most exposed sites perhaps seeing 60 mm.
